Description of Pictures: Captain “Hell Roaring” Mike Healy: From American Slave to Arctic Hero:
In the late 1880s, many lives in maritime Alaska rested in the hands of Michael A. Healy. During his years in the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service, Healy arrested lawbreakers, helped to deter smuggling, rescued sailors in distress, helped to improve the lives of indigineous populations, prevented the wholesale slaughter of marine wildlife, and explored unknown waters and lands. Today Dennis Noble and Truman Strobridge discuss their book, Captain “Hell Roaring” Mike Healy. A book signing will follow the program.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NAHEAL_100224_042.JPG: Thad Allen, the head of the Coast Guard.
2. NAHEAL_100224_098.JPG: On Wednesday, 24 February, the Commandant and MCPO-CG Bowen took time out of their very busy schedule to drive to the National Archives to present Mr. Truman R. Strobridge with the U.S. Coast Guard's Distinguished Public Service Award. The Commandant presented the award just before a program on a book that he helped coauthor: Captain "Hell Roaring" Mike Healy: From American Slave to Arctic Hero. This award took Mr. Strobridge completely by surprise, which shows that Washington, D.C., can sometimes keep secrets. Mr. Strobridge has accomplished much to preserve the heritage of the U.S. Coast Guard. He held the position of Historian of the U.S. Coast Guard from 1970 until 1976, the first to fill that position since the end of World War II. During tenure, without any staff, he wrote numerous articles, began the historical monograph series, and ably represented the Service in historical matters in the academic world, the other military services and the general public. He has always been willing to share his knowledge of the Service. His biography reads: Truman R. Strobridge worked as an archivist and historian in the federal government for more than thirty years and has held positions with the National Archives, Army, Marine Corps, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and unified combatant commands in Alaska, Europe, and the Pacific. He was the Historian of the U.S. Coast Guard from 1970 to 1976. Early in his career he served in the merchant marine and the U.S. Army Air Force in World War II. He holds degrees in geography and history and has taught at the University of Alaska. He is the author of nearly one hundred articles and four books. He resides in Alexandria, Virginia. It is because of Mr. Strobridge that I began researching and writing history. For over thirty-six years he has continued to be a mentor and someone I can always count on to learn more about historical matters. Dr. Dennis L. Noble MSTCS, U.S. Coast Guard (Ret.)

2010 photos: Equipment this year: I was using mostly the Fuji S100fs until the third one broke and I started sending them back for repairs. Then I used either the Fuji S200EHX or the Nikon D90. Trips this year: I've got so many local commitments that I'm having trouble getting away. I drove out to Lexington, Kentucky to cover the Civil War Preservation Trust's annual conference in June. I flew out to California and Nevada for two weeks in July for the San Diego Comic-Con. Ego strokes: Nothing major so far. Photos taken this year: 260,000 through August -- down about 5 percent from last year's frenetic pace.
